After witnessing the recent riots in Minneapolis, it has become clear to me our federal law enforcement officers are operating at a huge disadvantage.
There are only approximately 50,000 ICE, CBP and HSI agents in total working to protect us from this foreign invasion. In comparison, some estimates indicate there are at least 20 million illegal immigrants already running around the country. That means there are at least 400 criminals for every one federal law enforcement agent trying to round them up and deport them.
The average salary of these agents is less than $70,000, which is not nearly enough considering the abuse they take from members of the media and liberal politicians suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome and the danger they face every day, not only from the illegal immigrants, but also from who I believe are paid anarchists and domestic terrorists trying to keep them from doing their jobs by instigating riots and demonstrations.
In order to better combat this mayhem being organized by haters and radicals under control, we need to double the number of federal agents on the street and then double their salaries.
